well tolerated. Ocular adverse events were mostly mild, transient and related to initial instillation of the drug. SARcode plans to initiate pivotal Phase 3 clinical studies with SAR 1118 in the second half of 2011. 

"We are extremely pleased with this financing, and are grateful for the confidence and trust from such renowned life-science investors," said Quinton Oswald, Chief Executive Officer of SARcode Bioscience.  "In the US alone, the current dry eye market potential is over $1 billion.  This is expected to grow substantially in the next decade due to an aging population and increased incidence of type 2 diabetes, both of which contribute to higher rates of dry eye disease.  There is clearly a large opportunity to develop therapeutic agents that can rapidly treat the signs of dry eye and improve symptomatic visual-related quality-of-life.  With the support of our investors, we look forward to bringing this novel dry eye therapy to the market."

About Dry Eye Syndrome

Dry eye syndrome is a prevalent and often chronic condition estimated to affect approximately 20 million people in the US.  It is among the most common diseases treated by ophthalmologists throughout the world, and has been shown to have a significant impact upon quality of life.  Dry eye varies in severity and etiology, and symptoms most commonly manifest as discomfort, visual disturbances, and tear film instability due to decreased quality or quantity of tears.  A major contributing factor towards the development of dry eye is inflammation caused by T-cell infiltration, proliferation and inflammatory cytokine production that can lead to reduction in tear film quality and ocular surface damage.
